How to Make Lemon Garlic Chicken Meal Prep
- In a large bowl, toss the bite-size chicken pieces with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let your chicken soak in those flavors for 15 to 30 minutes, or even overnight for a deeper taste.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the chicken sizzles, steam or roast the broccoli florets until tender-crisp. If desired, prepare your cooked rice and melt a tablespoon of butter to toss with the veggies.
- Divide the cooked chicken and vibrant broccoli evenly among four meal prep containers. For added flavor, spoon any remaining pan juices over the top of the chicken.
- Allow the meal prep containers to cool completely before refrigerating them. This dish can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
